"Universal human fight need consultation
The forces show the force of instant devastation
That means every moment is precious and useful
Seek sincerity and action highest expression
Search out the root of a matter well before you rush to judgment
Again and still the words of the Emperor Abyssinian
Speak to judgment the world situation solution
First and second class citizens in every nation
What don’t you ovastand ova stand no man
Haile I Selassie I the First as Jahovah ina man
Abraham to the twelve tribes ina every nation
Into the peak operational technological
Onto grounds man and harvest Rasta to every one
The earth is the Lord’s and the world is his plan

Critical delineation I can hear them now
Fine tuning dialectics, discussing the how
But the how without know is a stray out loud
There’s a stray out loud high official mouth
Resource is the truth in the root of what it’s all about
In the first place they wouldn’t be able to suppress such a freedom shout
If you hadn’t supplied them the arms to assert dictator clout

Always tell you with the very important piece left out
It just business the exportation of weapon who’s the biggest bout
Supply the third world disparity wid nozzle for gasoline guns out
Overly ambitiously trying to sweep the world house out
Wid rebellion among friends and allies they paint white the house
Calcination and pacification, purification they saying, kinetic
burn them out , Burn them out
Innocent blood shed from the valley to the alley ina Tivoli
Waiting for a spectacle of sorcerer word transfusion
How them ago speak up to justify such naked aggression
How many details can your sound bite fill in
The chairman of the board of war time contractors
Making sure order invader investor the thing
Confident desperation ina the military wing
The highest generals of tactical application reluctant
Knowledge of the danger ina de field urging caution
Turn round mek it an issue of gender oblivion
With strong presumption assertion, whoa
It’s like a policy of hit first and then try to ovastand
Simultaneously having a systemic transformation
Socialism is the backbone of the bail out plan
Meritocracy within theocracy monarchy constitutional
Abba Janhoy Abba Kiddus and I will publish the righteous goal
I focus the eye in I and I to strive
Them a step pon working man pride wid pure big time
Haile I Haile I Haile I
A short tactical operation how they narrow it down
They say these are the ideological root of the danger zone
Wish to put any objection as an obstacle out of the land and home
Then again who live by the sword again die by the sword, seen."

Bigvein yeah of course songs from the Midnite camp work. I was just curious what are some Midnite songs that others enjoy.

I believe there was a free download of this track from the 45 shootout when the track first came out. You can get it from Itunes though......search for the Mongst I & I remexis EP.

I love hearing dubs of these I Grade tracks. Tippy had mentioned a while back about an I Grade dub album in the works.....really looking forward to that.

Thank you to all for sharing some of your favorite Midnite songs! Reggabe it is impossible to pick one. Feel free to share more! I have posted 3. LOL. I love that song of off Jah Grid! Jah Grid is one of my favorite Midnite albums by I Grade.

aquaponics and jps thank you for the info on the Dub track of Mongst I&I!! I will be searching for that today! Just when i start to think that i have all the Midnite albums and compilations and have heard all there songs I am blessed with something new!!! i am finding out there is a lot of Midnite tracks not even released yet!!!

Ras Adam love that new life song! I heard it live for the first time last year at Earthdance and just love to hear Ron sing! He is thee most talented muscian in the reggae biz today in my humble opinion.

yeah! you are right Daniel. It was "He say She say" Thank you for correcting me. Anthology had just come out. I am now trying to remember what show it was where i heard New Life for the first time. Did he play that at SNWMF in 08???

Also that Earthdance show in 2011 was the first time I heard Mongst I&I live for the first time but they played it in another song. I wish that i could record Midnite's sets cause when I wake up the next morning I try so hard to remember all the songs they played but cannot remember them all. Like that amazing set that was played in Nevada City. I wish that I could remember all the songs they played that night. I am still wating to hopefully one day hear Knocka Fia live!!!!

While he didn't sing it at SNWMF in 2008, I do recall Ron singing New Life at NWWRF that year. "Lion Wears The Crown" is the song that Mongst I&I was thrown into at Eartdance. I thought Mike had a video of that but can't seem to find it right now.

Yes Daniel!!! They did perform New Life at NWWRF in 08!! I must ask how do you remember the set list like that?? I could recall about 15 of the 19 songs and not in the correct order. I am very impressed Daniel!

Awesome Aaron!! I am still waiting for my copy. I am hoping it is in the mailbox when i get home!!! I purchased it thru Rastar and did not have a paypal account and procrastinated on setting one up so know i have to be patient. Cannot wait for it though. Almost purchased it off Itunes last night cause i cannot wait. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful band as Midnite around the west coast all the time!!

Yes Aaron & Rossta, I've been enjoying the Children of Jah album as well, especially the titlte track! Picked it up beside the stage at Reggae on the River, which was my plan.

A story about that Knocka Fya video: That was recorded on my birthday (well technicially the day after, but the show started on my b-day). The days leading up to the show I was thinking how I had sen Midnite live several times, but had never heard tham play Knocka Fya, which was pretty much my favorite Midnite song. So i kind of meditated on that for the days before the show. And what was the final song they play that night? Knocka Fya!

Needless to say it was one of the better birthday presents I've received. Bless you Midnite!

That is funny I have read that story before on youtube! That must have been you that wrote that on there. Nomo responded saying how his friend went and asked Ron before the show to play that track that night. Awesome story!!!

Hawaii!!! Awesome!! Did you see Midnite when they visited last year?? The waterfront i think was the venue. I have freinds who live in Hawaii and I told them they had to go to that show and they are now huge Midnite fans! thanks for the heads up on arrival time! Bless

Aye thirty kind a stone corn flakes
Scorn flakes starving the nation
Yeah yeah yeah aye
Well since you is here is the culture shape our war for the youth them vision
All the money move which part them youth ya tun
Clothes and shoes and food and them set down the pattern
And a just so the whole ghetto street and them run, yeah

Finding ways fe knam things whey no really good to no body consumption
I naturally prefer woman to man
Boy baby no really share the mommy wid no not a one whole heap
A crib blows from session crib from session
Aye enough for everyone

A little more food fe eat
Likkle more herb be bun
Mi chant down babylon cant dun
Blood sucka mosquito, I smoke them out fe fun
You know wreck age man you know scientific intervention
If them coulda just see something and lef um
You know narcissism side effects ina them central vision
You know some man favor Bobo Shanti Taliban
And we still ave enough for everyone

Oh o, Poor people hurt for no reason
Other than greed and self-hate denial
Claim they rather rule in hell, than serve in heaven, Hmm
Lucifers seed, vanity clouded needs, in earth the highest
must ave within her the planets
Seasons of magnets, magnets
Seasons of magnets

Yes aquaponics! Big tune All my life!! I can remember the first time i heard it and listening to it about 10 times in a row. That Let Live album is amazing. I would love to see Vaughn sing The Gad live!!! How irie would that be?

-ALL MY LIFE-
"All the days, all I lives, all I times
Runnin’ from the millions in time are I n I
Stand firm, Jah praise I
All my life, all my health, all my God,

Nutritional balance is wealth,
They move in stealth to take your wealth Yeah I
Thieve yourself from an honored emote of God
Raise your mind, find your feet
Use the earth, use the waters as your guidance.
Find your way to the valley
Something really fast ending with: Babylon for surely they are.
Prey, prey. They have become the prey.

All my life, all my God, all my God
All my balance, all my joy
All my days I give Jah praise, I give Jah praise, praise.
Give Jah the praise.

For surely he is with me for make I to survive
through the valley of the shadow of dangerous times.
All my life, all my thoughts, all my spark, all my talk

One thing continually from in my Iration, livity hey.
Rastaman authority, in the trinity, originally, stand up I-tiopia
Be seen and become dat of an ancient decree of ancient livity
Will teach we practices, what we call culture
Originally I n I Jah will teach we highly the almighty is the majesty.
Ovah land and sea"

Yes Rossta, I almost posted that "Love is Among" tune also! Such a beautiful song! And I love Let Live too, but favorite is My Ease (Maize) and how Vaughn uses that word play. Also Closed Societies is huge! Bless!

Maize is a great song!! I was listening to it last night!!! Every day i get home from work the first thing i do is pop in a midnite album and enjoy it to the fullest. Last night was Let live!!!! THere is not one Midnite album i dont love!!! Lets keep the tracks rolling! I am digging this thread!!

Yes Reggabe! Jahbok wha ova come! Amazing song!! One of my favorites also!! There are so many songs i would love to see live. Scheme of Things was the first Midnite album I ever purchased. I would listen to Jahbok wha ova come and Scheme of things over and over when i first got that album. I bought it at the last record store in Santa Rosa, CA just looking for some new reggae tunes and still to this day cherish that album as it was my first Midnite music!

I did not make it to ROTR. That would have been an awesome song to see them open with. I had to decide which show to go to the Nevada City show or Rotr. They were both about a 9 hour drive and i opted for Nevada City as I only would have gone to ROTR for Midnite. At Nevada City they played from midnite till 345 am. it was such a cool venue i felt like they were playing in my living room. I am bummed i missed Rotr but cant make em all. Maybe NOMO will have that recorded and I will check it out as i love that song.

Cool i cannot make that one. Have a lot of fun though that line up is so sick with Pablo Moses and Prez Brown!! Plus Naki and Sister Carol and many more i am forgetting! Maybe i will see you in Williams, OR on Sept 1st for 7 generations festival with MIDNITE headlining!

Wow, they played until 3:45 a.m.?! It has seemed to me like they have been streamlining their live shows to around 2 hrs these days, but I guess I just haven't caught em at the right venue. Next time Nevada City!

Nah they still play those epic sets!!! Like you said it all has to do with the venue. At NWWRF in 08 an 11 they played close to 4 hours each time! When the vibes are right they play the long set! Plus it helps when they are at a venue that will allow them too. A lot of the times the come at 11 or 12 an have to be done by 2am.

Wow what a song Ras Danny!!! Can you fill me in, forgive my lack of knowledge but i do not know who Rod Anton and the Ligerians are. Where can i purchase this album and add this amazing song to my Midnite collection. Amazing song!! Trumpet Bush!!! Raspect! Thank you for sharing this song! Really blessed my day to the fullest!

Gotta say... Pon The Watchlist moved me just because of how beautiful it is in terms of "pure skill"! The knowledge and experience and skill that went into making that song and that album... truly exceptional, and how many combined years between all of the musicians were required to create such a staggeringly perfect work!
